I should say they were edited hardcore films. They did have some issues with law enforcement watching the films and busting them when hardcore scenes slipped through. That info is per an article in The Florida-Times Union right around the time they went to mainstream offerings.
I spent so much time at this theatre as a kid it was ridiculous. Saw STREETS OF FIRE everyday for a week. At one time in the mid-80’s, double features were 75 cents. 75 cents for a double feature of CHUD and HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP. You can’t beat that.
My uncle worked here in the early 70’s and talked about a really long run of BILLY JACK.
Saw PURPLE RAIN and PENITENTIARY 2 double feature on what I considered a date, but I don’t think she did. Smelled pot for the first time here,too
Philip Michael Thomas bought it and renamed it the MiamiWay. Upon opening, he played movies from the 70’s he was in like SPARKLE and STIGMA.
Drove by it in February of 2005 while I was in town and it still stands. Funny how small the outside it looks now.

Still sits. Was a nightclub called THE EDGE during the 90’s. I believe it’s a club now called PLUSH.
